Late night dances

Charlie x Jaemin
---------

*ring ring**ring ring**ring ri-*

Charlie rolled over, snatching her phone of the bed side table and holding it in front of her face. The bright screen making her squint and rub her eyes. The screen was lit up with a contact.

'Jaem🖤 calling.....'

She groaned, accepting the call and throwing her tired form back down against the pillows. "Hello?" She asked down the line.

"Charlie! I didn't think you'd pick up!!" Jaemin beamed from the other end.

"Well I did, you best have a good reason for calling me at...." she pulled the phone back, eyes widening at the time. "At 3 in the damn morning"

Jaemin sighed, Charlie could picture him pacing wherever he was. There were a few a moments of comfortable silence before Jaemin spoke again. "I couldn't sleep....so I went to the company practice room to see if I could tire myself out by dancing but I'm really lonely right now....I could use some company"

Catching onto what he was saying, Charlie sighed and pulled her body up, swinging her legs off the edge and of the bed and standing up with a sigh. "And i was your first call? You're lucky I love you, Jaemin. I'll be there soon"

The call ended and she pulled the phone away, carelessly tossing it behind her onto the black bedsheets. Her feet dragged against the floor towards the wardrobe, slowly opening it to try and minimise the sounds it made.

Charlie aimlessly reached in and pulled a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie, exchanging her pyjamas for the clothes and tossing her pyjamas onto her bed.

Turning around on her heels, Charlie grabbed her glasses and phone, making sure to also grab her headphones on her way out of her bedroom. She slowly tip toed through the halls of the dorm, trying her hardest to not wake any of the boys up. Eventually, she had gotten her shoes on a gotten out of the house, bouncing down the steps and exiting the building.

"Oh fuck it's cold"

She tugged her coat closer around her body and turned in the direction of the SM building, knowing it would be a walk she plugged in her headphones and played some up beat songs.

The sky was black, a few clouds and a star here and there. The moon shone down onto the streets of Seoul, which weren't as packed as usual, and the street lamps gave the roads an orange hue.

The main roads had shops open of either sides, the bright shop signs making the street light with colour, the puddles from the light rain earlier in the day reflected the street signs.

Charlie detoured down the back roads, although it might've been more dangerous it was a lot more peaceful and the streets looked stunning in the late hours of the night.

The orangey street lamps giving the bricked walls orange glows, the sounds of her footsteps against the paves as she walked at a steady pace. There were multiple metal shutters, indicating the shops were closed and the owners had gone home to their own families.

A couple walked past Charlie, the girl had her hand wrapped tightly around the boy's bicep, the both of them smiling and giggling happily like two teenagers coming back from a night out. Charlie could hear the woman's heels click against the paves over her own music, the male's expensive looking suit caught Charlie's eye.

She didn't know whether it was the strangely patterned tie or the dice cufflinks. But as they walked past her she couldn't help but turn her head and watch them walk the road she had taken but just in the opposite way.

She had eventually arrived at SM, looking up and noticing a few windows still had lights on, one of those rooms had to be the one that Jaemin was in. Reaching into her pocket, she took out her phone and opened the messages, shooting a quick text to Jaemin.
